Story
A collection of absurdist and thought-provoking stories from the author's Return to the Dirt, Just Speculating, and more, including unreleased, exclusive, audio-only content! Performed by a cast of award-winning and Audie® nominated narrators. Fans of the macabre, dark humor, and cerebral thrillers are guaranteed a good listen. Occupational Hazards is an unflinching ride through the absurdity of it all. Existentialism, absurdism, and outlandish humor merge with ordinary, workaday life for a truly unique perspective of the human experience. Not recommended for the faint of heart or easily offended. But if meaty stories are what you're after....We hope you're hungry.

Story
In the underground tunnels below Grand Central Terminal, Lee Stringer - homeless and drug-addicted for 11 years - found a pencil to run through his crack pipe. One day he used it to write. Soon writing became a habit that won out over drugs, and before long Stringer had created one of the most powerful urban memoirs of our time. With humane wisdom and a biting wit, Stringer chronicles the unraveling of his seemingly secure existence as a marketing executive and his odyssey of survival on the streets of New York.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

Modern day Orwell
The first time I read 1984, it was just past that year, but the prospects for an Orwellian future were still realistic enough that it was scary as heck. Now, though, post-9-11, we see a lot of those same scary prospects as nothing more than a daily annoyance. Everything, Inc. takes it a league further into a world more realistically terrifying than I've ever imagined. We are already seeing signs of this bleak future, which makes it that much more terrifying. This book was scary in the way that the evening news is scary, and throws a dark pall on mega-conglomerates. Very entertaining, but also thought-provoking and insightful. The narrator was awesome.

Well written
This novella is well written,well narrated, and holds your interest throughout.Its only flaw is that it isn’t as original as some of Sturtevant’s other works, such as Occupational Hazards.But well worth the investment of time to listen to.

Excellent
Would you listen to Everything Inc. again? Why?
Yes. Interesting story and good
Who was your favorite character and why?
Dan. He inspires the protagonist.
Any additional comments?
Sturtevant gives us another intriguing tale with his signature (slightly) dark point of view in Everything Inc.Probably one of the scariest things about this story is how prophetic it could be.

Another fantastic story
Would you listen to Everything Inc. again? Why?
Yes. His stories are very interesting perspectives and tell these snippets of a life you would not have known existed.
What did you like best about this story?
You can believe in the characters. They are developed and crafted where you would almost know someone like them already.
Have you listened to any of Paul J. McSorley’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I love his delivery. Very good choice of narrator.

Too close to reality
Like my title says, it's just to close to reality. I guess I shouldn't have listened to this when I was at work. Still, because of it I was totally hypnotized by this book, I finished in one sitting, couldn't turn it off. Think 1984 and Animal Farm all rolled into one. Except it's kind of real...kind of what we all live every day. Very disturbing
Part of the appeal of this book, I have to admit, was the characters in the book. Like us, they make friends, find a way to make the miserable more pleasant. It's this camaraderie that makes it fun in the middle of all of the disturbing. I would definitely read it again.
The narrator helped to drive home the story, fantastic range of voices, they did a great job.

Eerily profetic!
Great dystopian story that is way too close to the truth of how our society is moving forward. This book captured my attention from the beginning! This is my second book by Sturdevant and I think what I seem to like most about his books are the characters and the detail he puts into them. Paul J. McSorley brings the characters and the story to life. Excellent book!

Great short science fiction
I hate to say this but Mr. Sturtevant writing fits more or less how I see the far away future as. I have no trouble buying into this story. If is a little strange, very different and unique. Short, to the point of how a company takes over everything and everybody but the question is how they are using the people they are hiring. Could it be for slave labor, to help people who need help, or could it be so much more than our minds can handle?
The narrator as always does a wonderful job with his narration, his male characters are always outstanding pulling you in with the emotions he gives them. The fear, excitement, danger, unsure is show very easy in how he displays his characters tones. I was hanging on the edge with each new discovery as well as what happens to the people when they are no longer there. There are no background noises, no volume changes and no repeating of words. The narrator gives you a very clear, clean audio that takes you way making it easy to feel the horrors, the unsure, the pain and sorrow of losing everything you have only to find you're as far down as you can go. I enjoyed his narration and the powerful tones he gives each character. I look forward to listening to more of his work.
I thought this was a very interesting listen that held my attention keeping me invested in the story. It has a great plot and is a little out there but most of this authors writing are. He makes his stories unique and fascinating. I had no trouble at all buying into the story and feel somewhere along the way in this crazy world this could be our future to some point. Great job I totally loved it.

What a great read!
When you feel like you have lost everything you tend to hold on the little bit you do have that include your friends. After Paul resigned to self to the fact he is going to work but everything Inc. he meets Dan a second timer E I am the one who shows him the ropes. They become fast friends and then shows Paul everything and shares everything they work together live next to each other, but when Dan goes missing Paul is intent on finding him no matter what the course he must travel because the one thing Paul knows is that when everything Inc. employees go missing you never see them again. Will Paul find his friend Dan and this book you find the answer to that question. Although a simple story is very interesting and hold your attention to the Bitterend not to mention it was pretty funny Dan is a hilarious guy and Paul’s man the rings are pretty funny as well. Whoever picked the narrator for this story did a perfect job I thought it was awesome can’t wait to read more books narrated by him.

Talk about a monopoly!
This is a story of how life could be if people and their pure laziness, in regards to life and liberty, don't change their way of thinking and behaving. In a prophetic sort of way, Geoff Sturtevant is showing us in his writing of this story what life could be like if we continue to be apathetic to how things are run. The characters are well developed and believable and I enjoyed the friendship that Paul Harper developed with his next door neighbor and, later, with his co-workers. There is some humor and some crazy 'Stephen King-'ish story telling here and there.
I definitely recommend this book!
Paul McSorley is a fantastic story teller. I love the timber of his voice and the style of the ebb and flow in the narration is perfect. he gives great voice to the characters, so I am able to visualize the person who is talking.
I enjoyed the audio book very much because of Paul McSorley!

Strange little audiobook
In the near future the earth is barren there is no real cities and people are starving and willing to do anything for food and shelter possibly a new beginning. There is one city called and ran by Everything Corp and they promised food and shelter for work and you had to sign a document saying you stay and give everything you had to Everything Corp.
But people come to work one day and sometime just disappear the next the city will provide you everything you need and want for a price and no one was to question anything that went on or were the people who disappeared went all you had to do is work, smile and be happy. Everything Corp controlled everything and gave you just enough to put some credits in your pocket and a very small cell aka room to sleep in and you could not visit your neighbors make friends or be punished or disappear.
The characters in here work together and start questioning things why are people living in the tunnels under Los Vegas, Why is there so many housing units buildings but not enough work for all of them and finally why it takes five men to do the work of one.
so one takes a journey to find answers visit the tunnels, meet other people and see why they are were they are and finally what is in the mysteries power plant.
The story is well written and narrated and I am sure you will also enjoy the journey of the main character and yours from listening to the audiobook.
